Driver version 91.31 "Taskbar Icon"
Just installed the new nvidia drivers version 91.31 and I cannot get rid of
the taskbar icon. Using the classic view for the control panel, I select tools and uncheck enable taskbar icon, and then click apply. When I reboot, the taskbar icon is back, and the enable taskbar icon checkbox is checked again in the control panel. How do I make it go away? |

Try running REGEDIT and check the usual autostart locations, e.g.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run If you see an entry for the utility that starts Nvidia's taskbar icon, put a semicolon at the start of the key value (this will prevent it from running, even though the key will still be present). Also check for a Service which does the same thing, and if you find one, disable it. "stumpy" wrote in message ... Hmmm same here,thought it was me!!

Driver version 91.31 "Taskbar Icon"
There is nothing listed in these registry locations that start the nvidia's
taskbar icon! "Jack F. Twist" wrote in message k.net...

nVidia's support page mentions the popup and indicates it is an error
that will be fixed in the next update. They also have a workaround that will hide the popup. I love all of these stupid conspiracy theories.
